Enforce file set quota on root user

This operation updates the client cluster enforceFilesetQuotaOnRoot configuration parameter.

About this task

Set this parameter to true if you want to enforce file set quota on root user, on this client cluster only, or otherwise set it to false. The default value is false. This property applies only to the current client instance and affects only data that is written by the root user from this client cluster. If you want to enforce the file set quota on root for other client instances, you need to set this property on these clients. Use this option with caution. If quota is enforced on the root user, any processes that are executed by the root user on this client fail if the hard quota is exceeded on a file set during the process execution.
